Chapter 179 Isn’t She Dying?
"Brother..." Zuo Dongrou was shocked, "You..."
She didn't expect Zuo Lun to actually say such words in front of her.
She was once full of trust and admiration for her elder brother Zuo Lun, and believed that he was the person she could rely on most in the world.
Even though this elder brother is not perfect, he is addicted to alcohol, lustful, and greedy for money...but she still thinks he is the most important person in her life.
But now, why did she feel that he was not even as good as a stranger?
Frustrated, even desperate... Zuo Dongrou looked at Zuo Lun in disbelief, not knowing how to convince this closest relative.
She entered the deep palace alone, enduring all kinds of things...all for the Zuo family, or rather, for him, Zuo Lun.
"Brother..." Zuo Dongrou still had illusions about Zuo Lun, "Daqi Jiangshan belongs to the Xiao family..."
"The one sitting on the throne now is your nephew, my son. Do you really want to do this, big brother?"
Zuo Lun looked disdainful and said, "Sister, what you said is not right."
"The first person who founded the Great Prayer for the Country was named Yang."
Zuo Dongrou could not refute it because the founding emperor of Daqi was indeed surnamed Yang.
However, he was injured in the wars and had no children. Later, he passed the throne to the Xiao brothers.
At that time, Emperor Yang passed the throne to the Xiao family. The officials and the people had no objection because the Xiao family was a founding hero. To be honest, his contributions were no less than those of Emperor Yang.
Therefore, the Xiao family came to power in a legitimate way.
Who is Zuo Lun?
"Brother, if you insist on doing what you want today, tomorrow the Zuo family will be considered a traitor and the entire Zuo family will be implicated by you, and no one from the entire clan will be able to escape."
"Brother, think twice."
This was to tell Zuo Lun that if he insisted on rebelling, she would definitely not tolerate it or approve of it.
But now that things have come to this, how could Zuo Lun give in easily?
"Today, if Big Brother ascends to the throne, the Zuo family will become royal relatives."
"Sister, you will be the most honorable eldest princess of Daqi."
Zuo Dongrou was stunned. "Brother, what about Ze'er? You loved him so much before..."
Are we going to abandon him now?
Zuo Lun now looks down on everything, and his eyes are full of disdain for everything.
He seemed to have taken special care of himself today, dressed very elegantly, with a bright yellow lining faintly visible under his collar.
Zuo Dongrou just felt that he was no longer like his elder brother. He had hidden ambitions in his heart and would not stop for anything.
Xie Zhen looked at the brother and sister with amusement, "Anything else to say?"
Zuo Lun glanced at him and said, "Now you know what I mean. It's useless to use her and Xiao Ze to control me."
Jie Zhen snorted, "Master Zuo, do you think I'm stupid?"
As long as the emperor and the empress dowager were in his hands, the imperial guards would not dare to move.
He is now holding the emperor hostage to control the imperial guards...
Not wanting to waste any more time talking to Zuo Lun, Jie Zhen restrained Zuo Dongrou and returned to the palace.
"Empress Dowager, you heard it too. Your elder brother is not a good person." Jie Zhen pushed Zuo Dongrou into the hands of another person.
The man quickly put a dagger against Zuo Dongrou's neck.
Jie Zhen stood facing Zuo Dongrou, "You don't have to show mercy to him."
"Now that his men have entered the palace, Queen Mother, please give the order for the imperial guards to surround and kill Zuo Lun's men."
Seeing Zuo Dongrou's hesitation for a moment, Xie Zhen twisted his lips and said, "The Queen Mother may not agree, but I can only let the Emperor suffer a little first."
As he said this, he glanced at the person who was holding Xiao Ze hostage.
Xiao Ze's eyes were closed and he lost consciousness. Only his weak breathing proved that he was still alive.
The person who held him hostage sat directly next to him, with a dagger against Xiao Ze's neck.
After hearing Jie Zhen's words, the man moved the dagger towards Xiao Ze's neck... and continued to apply force at the place where blood had been oozing out before.
"Don't." Zuo Dongrou stopped them.
Seeing that the knife was no longer exerting force, Zuo Dongrou breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't hurt the emperor, I have ordered."
Xie Zhen was very satisfied and raised his eyebrows, "Then give the order."
Zuo Dongrou looked at the commander of the imperial guards, Xin Jiancheng, who was standing outside the palace. "Commander Xin."
"I'm here." Xin Jiancheng bowed at the door of the palace.
"I order you..." Zuo Dongrou's face turned pale, even his lips turned white, "surround and kill Zuo Lun!"
In the capital city and the imperial palace, there were about nine thousand imperial guards, and even with Jie Zhen's several thousand men, it was only half of the number brought by Zuo Lun.
However, Zuo Lun's men were all new recruits with no combat experience and couldn't even hold their weapons steadily.
That's why Xie Zhen is so confident and calm. As long as the imperial guards take action, he may not lose.
Under the command of Xin Jiancheng, the imperial guards began to attack Zuo Lun's men.
As Jie Zhen expected, the imperial guards clearly had the upper hand.
Zuo Lun's new recruits were untrained and were too afraid to charge forward after being injured.
Soon, many of his people were injured.
Zuo Lun didn't want to waste his own men, so he gave a look to the people around him.
After a while, the sound of thunder and fire bombs was heard in the palace.
Zuo Dongrou in the hall was startled. She looked outside and saw some fire and smoke.
What's going on?
She looked at Gong Zi. Could it be that Ling Chan didn't make any arrangements?
If Ling Chan hadn't made any arrangements, then... wouldn't she and Huang'er be destined to...
No matter whether it is Jie Zhen or Zuo Lun, as long as either of them comes to power, there will be no good outcome for her and the emperor.
She now regrets letting Ling Chan enter the palace that day...
The prince's situation had been stabilized by Ling Chan's people at that time, so why did she let Ling Chan enter the palace?
If Ling Chan hadn't entered the palace, she wouldn't have suffered a miscarriage and harmed her body...
Even if I can't go into battle in person today, I can still make all the necessary arrangements and won't be so passive.
Gong Zi's identity at this time was a palace maid, and she looked frail.
She had never been noticed by Jie Zhen, so he didn't arrange anyone to restrain her.
She moved only when she heard the sound of thunder and fire bombs.
She was seen as she was petite but very nimble as she slid out of the hall and instantly blended into the darkness, turning into a phantom and soon disappeared from sight.
Jie Zhen followed her with a look of surprise. In his eyes, Gong Zi's Qinggong had reached the level of walking on snow without leaving any trace...
And he actually ignored her all the time.
"Who is she?" Jie Zhen approached Zuo Dongrou with a knife and pressed her, "Who is she?!"
Zuo Dongrou's face was full of surprise at this moment. Gong Zi moved, and she moved, so Ling Chan did not sit idly by, she did not watch coldly.
"She?!" Zuo Dongrou looked in the direction where Gong Zi disappeared.
"She's a subordinate of Ling Chan, the Marquis of Zhenbei!" Zuo Dongrou said confidently, "Jie Zhen, you'd better release me and the emperor as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, you will definitely not end well!"
Zhenbei Hou Lingchan? !
Jie was really panicked.
Zhenbei Hou Lingchan! ?
Jie Zhen's hands began to tremble. "She? Isn't she dying from the miscarriage?"
